you might not see the 'controversy' but it's also not appropriate for you or i to dismiss the concerns of people who do take issue with this, especially if those people are from the minority in question. To paraphrase someone on another thread (and this was directed to me as it happens - and in retrospect, they're absolutely right) - If someone from a minority voices a concern, it's not for us to silence them with whataboutery and sophistry, it's our cue to shut the fuck up and listen to what they have to say. We might learn something.
I'm pretty sure telling minorities what they can and can't find problematic is never a strong look.
peace.
